§ Mr. W. ABRAHAM (Cork)asked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have had the holding formerly occupied by David Riordan on the Sherlock estate, Araglen, county Cork, inspected; if the owner has agreed to the estimated price, but is apparently unwilling to take the requisite steps to complete the transaction; and whether, under these circumstances, the Commissioners will consider the necessity of acquiring the holding under the compulsory powers which they possess in order to effect the reinstatement of the evicted tenant?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners propose to institute proceedings for the acquisition of these lands under the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907.
